iGENT FOR OBTAINING PATENTS 



IN THE

Drawings and papers of all kinds required in securing, obtaining, extending, defending 
or selling patents, prepared ; and all business connected therewith, attended to 

Copies of drawings, illustrations, specifications, records, descriptions, and inform- 
ation relative to inventions and the arts, both in this country and abroad, promptlv fur 
nished. ^ y J "*•■ 

Inventors are advised to have preliminary examinations made at the Patent Office to 
ascertain if their inventions are probably new, before proceeding to make applications 
for patents. By doing so, disappointment and expanse will often be avoided After 
making such an examination and deciding that an invention may be patented he rerv 
seldom fails in any case he proceeds with. The fee for this examination is generally 
five dollars. It is necessary, however, to except brick machines, churns, looms grist 
and saw mills, plows, pumps, steam engines, stoves, thrashing machines, washing ma- 
chines, and water wheels ; the very great number of patents already granted in each of 
which classes, requiring a double fee to be charged for a thorough examination • and in 
the case of stoves, it would generally cost less to make application at once than to at- 
tempt to make a previous, reliable search. But, when desired, he will make as careful 
an examination in these classes as he can afford, for the ordinary fee, and in most instan 
ces would discover it, if the device should be old. To enable him to make an examina- 
tion a model sent to him would be best. But a rough sketch of the invention, accompa- 
nied by a description referring to the sketch by letters or figures, is generally sufficient 
Rejected applications receive special attention. Many patentable and very valuable in 
ventionsnow lie buried in the Patent Office, because the applications were imperfectly 
prepared or unskillfully prosecuted. If, after examination, a rejected case is believed 
to be patentable, he will undertake to prosecute the application for a contingent fee pre- 
vious y agreed upon and guaranteed, charging nothing for his services unless he succeeds 
m obtaining a patent. A long and successful experience in this branch of his business
